An evening on the reference desk is fertile ground for non-sequiturs.
1. I am pretty sure Andy Williams is my new favourite celebrity of all time. In his insanely fascinating new memoir, Moon River And Me, he calls bullshit on the snootiness of the elites of Monaco, puts on greasepaint with Judy Garland, and pals around with Kay Thompson. And I haven't even gotten to the juicy stuff about Claudine and Spider Sabich yet.
2. If I ever have children, I am going to make them do their own homework rather than drag my own flu-laden butt to the library to cough all over the staff and demand books on Communism at a fifth-grade level.
3. If one more person tells me that I am at the perfect age to start thinking about children I am going to punch them in the nose.
4. It hurts my feelings that Sesame Street is 40 years old. I'm sure it's still super important for a lot of kids but I just don't want to believe that it's progressed past this.
or this.
5. Remember when the only thing you were responsible for was knowing how to count up to twelve, apparently? Ah, those happy golden years.
i think it is important to note that i did not actually write this while on the reference desk. that would be unprofessional.
